The other night I caught one of these gems about "Charles in Charge." It was awesome. I learned the following:
- Scott Baio developed an ego problem while he was still on "Happy Days."
- Willie Aames enjoyed a lucrative TV career even before "Eight is Enough," but then he did the UNTHINKABLE and spiraled downward into drug abuse and lost all his money.
- Willie then joined AA, joined the cast of "Charles in Charge," found God, and stopped all that bad behavior.
- "Charles in Charge" featured one pretty girl and one "plain" girl that Charles was in charge of. (Both of them blond, about a size 3 and pretty much identical California girls.) The actress who played the "plain" girl was jealous that she didn't get to dress better.
- The actress who played the "pretty" girl is a real bitch - you can just tell by her interview.
- Essentially, the show was really stupid (by Scott Baio's own admission) and I missed absolutely nothing by not watching it.
What is not clear is whether Willie became a Christian or a Kristian. If anyone wishes to research this and report back to CPW, we have an opening for a Guest Blogger, and are currently accepting applications.

That was the WORST show! *grimace*
CP, now I have the damn theme song in my head!
"charles in charge, of our days, & our nights....."
Wow, sorry - I never saw the show so I don't know the theme song! Would "Facts of Life" maybe remove CIC from your brain?
AARRRGGHHHH!!!!!
STOP, please STOP!
Not the facts of life!
*must ... think ... of ... Coldplay.....*
I had a total Scott Baio crush when he was on Happy Days, but I never saw Charles in Charge.
And Willie Ames has to have been just about the homliest teen star ever....although the kid from James at 15 was pretty ugly too/
